    Korean hanger steak and brisket
    Maureen B.

    Nice casual spot. Started with the short rib Johnny Cakes which we shared. They were delicious! I had the Korean hanger steak for an entree and my husband the brisket, both were very good.

    I came here after attending a off road event at Hamilton Farm, the US Equestrian Team Headquarters in Gladstone, We were looking for a quick simple meal. The Gladstone tavern is a cozy restaurant, we had great service and the food was very good. It's spacious, has ample parking, nice outdoor seating with heaters on the porch. All of the dishes we ordered were excellent. We had the tavern burger and the grilled chicken sandwich. For desert we had the chocolate chunk cookie which is a Jacque Torres recipe. It's warm and very tasty. Our waiter recommended the ice cream toasted coconut, pretzel-chip, it was awesome. They offer a wide variety of salads, entrees, desert, wines, beer liquors. They appear to do a lot of catering and have live music at certain times. This was not a planned visit and I would definitely go back. Everyone wax courteous, the restaurant is very clean, and it looks like it would be a nice place to relax when there is live music. I would definitely recommend them.

    Cute porch dining. Gracious host & server. Food spot on with perfect drink of hard cider!

    Tavern Burger

    This was in an old-fashioned farmhouse with a rustic setting. There was a small bar upon entering and a section in the back for private events it looked like. The menu offered seasonal American comfort food with a few twists sprinkled in. The service was solid, and the food came out in a timely manner. I went with the tavern burger ($22). It was local pasture raised beef that was grounded in house daily with cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles on a toasted brioche bun with fries. I opted for the burger to be cooked medium rare and it was more on the medium side. Overall, this was okay. The patty was of good size but lacked much seasoning. It helped that the other toppings were present. The fries were very tasty as they were seasoned appropriately and fried to perfection. I also tried the bear sandwich which had braised short rib, cherry pepper, mushroom, onion, and provolone on a garlic toasted roll. This was very tasty. The cherry pepper really made the entire dish I thought. Another item I tried was the chilaquiles. There was something that threw me off here and I believe it was the salsa verde. The people who had this at my table did enjoy it though. Will I go back? Probably.

    Buffalo Chicken Salad
    Betty C.

    Interesting setting. Looks like a house converted into a restaurant. We sat in the back room on the left just to the right of the fireplace with a window looking into the backyard. Our server was very funny, and I'll say he was about 15% over the top in terms of trying to yuck it up with us. Am sure a lot of people wouldn't have appreciated the constant jokes. My choice was the wedge salad. It was good however, I wish there had been more blue cheese, and it had hardly any red onions so he brought me more which was very nice. The bacon was way overcooked and I like crispy, well-done bacon, however this was well beyond that. It also needed a little more tomato to compensate for the serious dryness of the bacon. It's a decent choice in a small town that doesn't have many options.

    Five stars for the Gladstone Tavern! It's a perfect spot for lunch with friends, dinner with family, or drinks at the bar. It's in a renovated 19th century farmhouse with lots of different rooms. It offers cozy seating spaces, a front and back patio, beautiful wood and stone details, and warm lighting. The food is top notch and the menu is seasonally inspired. I love that ingredients are sourced from individual farms and that herbs are grown in the restaurant's garden. This restaurant is accommodating to diners with specific food preferences and allergies. They made my friend's meal the way she asked for it to be specially prepared due to her food allergies. I've been here a few times and look forward to returning. Staff has been consistently attentive and helpful. I appreciated our server today, Mark, especially. He has an upbeat and friendly way about him and made our lunch extra enjoyable. You can park for free in one of the two parking lots. Dogs are allowed on the front porch dining section.

    On our way home from south Jersey, we were looking for a nice place to stop for dinner. I had Gladstone Tavern bookmarked for quite a while, so it was a good opportunity to stop here. Since it was a hectic day, the first thing I liked is that this restaurant is located in a quiet location with plenty of parking. We made a reservation for outside seating which was perfect on this June evening. The food was very good. My wife especially enjoyed her Chicken Schnitzel entree. I went with the baked pasta special which had broccoli rabe and sausage, my in-laws each had burgers. It took a little while for the food to be served, but that wasn't a problem since it was so nice out. All in all, this was a good find and a perfect spot for us to enjoy dinner!

    Short Rib Pasta
    Thomas C.

    A cozy experience at Gladstone. My party of 3 decided to dine in the bar area on the high tops near the from windows. It's a bit cramped, and I'd recommend just having 2 tables over there than 3. But overall comfortable. The bartender was kind and helped us out in a gracious manner. All of our drinks were great. Though through the night when it got busy, I think there needed to be another bartender to help her out. Someone in the party ordered the split pea soup, and it was delicious! She said "it reminds me of my mother's" so I think that's a great sign. The wedge salad had fresh ingredients and the bacon was unique compared to other wedges with their slab bacon. I ordered the short rib pasta, and gosh it was delicious. All of the ingredients blend together really well. Tender, tender meat with a perfectly balanced sauce. I would've liked the pasta a bit more al dente but still so very delicious. Someone from the party ordered the steak frites, and it was cooked perfectly. The peppercorn sauce was out of this world! The short rib pasta was on a special menu. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream! Very sweet of the restaurant to add a beautiful happy birthday message on the plate but the ice cream and bread pudding lacked some flavor - would've love some more coffee and toffee taste from the ice cream and the bread pudding needed some more moisture and cappuccino taste, maybe more sauce? Would love to come back in the summer!

    Just a stop-in after a nice walk, so hungry and thirsty. The flatbread pizza was undercooked and the buffalo chicken salad was just ok. Not really a wide variety of food and no appys but just a big eh for what we had. Service was ok, but you can see, as we sat outside, challenging to have service from inside. Nice outside area though.

    Amazing pea soup!
    Alexandra O.

    Awesome atmosphere, live music after 1:30 pm. Loved the food. We came here with a toddler and had a great experience. Pea soup was amazing and refreshing. Kids meal was on point with chicken bites perfectly crispy and juicy!

    Good chopped salad
    Cat M.

    3 1/2 stars! Nice place 2 parking lots (1 was closed so it was a little confusing to know where to park but found street parking no problem!). Interior is very nice, tables are spaced out & they have a lovely fireplace. The bar area tables are small for 4 or more people so we moved to the main dining room but I'd go back to enjoy a drink in the bar. I love the large ice cubes served for bourbon drinks! Service was pretty slow - a table that came in after us got drinks & their order taken - not cool. Drink orders took 15 minutes & the place was not full. Menu is small & eclectic - very unique offerings - wish there were more "normal" things like a chicken sandwich or clams, or even wings for example. Our group enjoyed our food - chopped salad, chips & salsa, shortbread flatbreads, caesar salad, focaccia bread, & brussel sprouts. The food that we did not care for: cheese plate on the special menu - pathetic - 3 different pieces of different types of brie-type cheese & the crab claws - we had to ask for a fish fork - they were miniscule - why bother even offering something like this. I would go back definitely but with the annoyance of a closed parking lot with no sign advising where to park, the service flaws, & some issues with the food, I cannot give this place a 5 at this time but it definitely has potential!

Before even getting into the restaurant, you pay $20 for valet (or self-park for free). Once inside, the ambiance is pretentiously fancy. The food is generally good, nothing spectacular, and priced to match the pretentious ambiance. Most of the dishes contained a puréed food of some kind to be pretentiously fancy. Why so many purées? What's wrong with whole vegetables? Your customers are not babies. Dishes that I would probably order again if I return: * Bluefin tuna crudo with avocado purée * Coffee-rubbed Berkshire pork chop with sweet potato purée * Duck with Brussel sprouts, mushrooms, and cauliflower purée * Roasted carrots with sumac Dishes that were fine but not memorable (1 star off): * Brioche rolls with carrot butter: could not taste any carrot flavor in carrot butter; a good plain butter would have sufficed; it also came with a side of smoked salmon roe which I thought was pretentious and unnecessary * New England scallops with carrot and coriander purée, spring pea and mint pesto, and mushroom crumble: the mushroom crumble was good, but the scallops were over-salted * Pan-seared salmon, sunchoke, spring herb purée, salsify, corn, and pommes purée: TWO purées...yay... * Cavatelli with lamb ragu: ragu is basically a tomato purée * Roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut squash For dessert, our waiter recommended the butterscotch pretzel sundae, which has been on their menu for years. The blondie bites, salted caramel, hot fudge, and salted caramel ice cream did sound good. Too bad they forgot to bring it out for us (1 star off), so we never tried it.

    ***If there's one review you should read before deciding to come here, it's this one. I'm about to…read morewax poetic.*** Let me preface by saying that I'm a young adult who considers himself a bit of a foodie. I work in Times Square so I usually frequent fine dining establishments in the city, but my home is North Jersey so I am acutely aware that there are some hidden gems in this state. Last week, I was at the Saddle River Inn in Saddle River and was blown away. But this place is far, far, even more exceptional. Greatest dining experience ever. Called the restaurant due to a last-minute cancelation in my party. Evan, a manager, was super helpful in waiving any cancelation fees. It's BYOB and there's a brewery across the street that apparently does takeout. I just brought beer from my house. They gave me chilled glasses and a bucket of ice to keep my refreshments chilled. Onto the ambience. You walk in and it's a nice, cozy little place with tables and a bar top with an open kitchen layout behind it. You can see all the food that's cooking and the presentations that go behind each dish - all live in front of you. The chef's were busy but always obliged when I said hey or asked a question. I tried the 5 course chef's tasting menu for $125. You get a little bit of all of the best flavors coming out of the kitchen. And the flavors are always changing. They source their ingredients from local farms. First came out complimentary course #1 - all I remember is it had crudo in it. Then course #1 - gulf shrimp with squid. This is the point where I decide no matter how else dinner plays out, I'm coming back. What fresh ingredients and creative flavor pairings. Next was course #2 - duck confit spring roll. It's just a smaller portion of what's regularly on their menu. This may have been my favorite item of the night. Next was wood fired octopus in tagliatelle pasta. After that, I believe, was complimentary course #2 - what appeared to be a caesar salad. Anything they make is delicious. Finally, I had an American wagyu strip as the fourth course. Absolutely delectable. At this point, I'm in Heaven. But I'm not quite yet full and ready for my dessert - profiteroles - one of my favorite desserts. I was looking forward to it from the moment I walked in and saw it listed on the tasting menu. I only eat 1 meal a day so when I finally eat, I eat a lot. A normal person would be full at this point, but I wanted more. I also couldn't help but think it might have something to do with me not wanting to leave and just try anything this kitchen made. So I ordered more. I asked for their regular menu and ordered some more duck confit spring rolls and some type of pork belly entree. Quick note - the pork belly entree was not good. You have to take the losses on the chin to make the wins matter more. Pork belly over beans? It was like bbq ribs meets an English breakfast. Please get rid of that, respectfully. After 3 bites, I didn't want any more so I quietly flagged down my server, Kat, and told her please quietly take this, I fully intend to pay for it since I ordered it; it's just no good. And I had been raving to her about every dish up until that point. So she insisted that she'd take it off the check. I insisted I'd pay, she kept insisting, so I relented. That's really good customer service. Now time for dessert. I wish I could say I was ending on a better note but the Profiteroles - which I mentioned is a favorite dessert of mine - massive disappointment. After everything else was put together for care, I got notes of freezer for this last one - especially the pumpkin part. I love this restaurant and I intend on returning as soon as possible, so please don't take offense to my constructive criticism. I applaud your efforts to infuse different flavors together. It is working wonders for you. Keep it up. I'm gonna share pictures of everything, including the menu. But the last 2 things I'll talk about are the cost and the service. With the pork belly entree taken off, it was just the 5 course tasting menu, an order of duck confit spring rolls, and a $6 double espresso. The total came out to $168 after taxes. I tipped $168. That's right. 100%. In a world where people like to dock tip percentages from their precious "20%" for what they perceive to be a lack of good service, let's normalize going above 25% for exceptional service. Not everyone can afford 100% like me, but next tip tip your servers 30-35% for exceptional service. As a former server in my heyday, I promise it'll mean more to them than the few extra dollars to you. And exceptional service is what I got. From manager Evan, to server Kat, to all of the others I met - forgive me if I forget any names. Chef Kelly, Chef Mike, Chef Jon, Keira, Jimmy. Thank you for an unforgettable 5-star experience. Keep up the exceptional work. I will see you again soon.

Despite this, the manager refused to provide our party with the brunch menu and insisted we order from the regular menu, even after we politely requested otherwise. It later became clear that this decision was based on the size of our party rather than an actual menu policy. The manager repeatedly claimed that brunch ended earlier than what was printed on the menu, which was confusing and inconsistent. After unnecessary back and forth, the chef ultimately approved our ability to order from the brunch menu, confirming that this was not a kitchen issue. This was especially disappointing as we were celebrating my son's birthday, and what should have been a pleasant occasion was unnecessarily stressful. The manager's approach was unprofessional, dismissive, and confrontational. In contrast, our waiter was excellent. He was attentive, courteous, and did everything possible to make the experience positive despite the circumstances. Honoring published menu times and treating guests with respect are basic service expectations. Unfortunately, poor management overshadowed what could have otherwise been an enjoyable celebration.

I really love the food and…read morethe ambience -- it's the kind of place that works perfectly for a relaxed brunch as well as a cozy dinner. The menu has been consistently satisfying, and the overall vibe makes you want to come back. What truly stands out is the staff. They are super nice, welcoming, and always accommodating, which makes the experience even better. Their attention to detail and warm service really elevate the place and make it a solid go-to spot.
